Have you ever bought a Fake image? All of us who deal in images have made mistakes. When I was a younger guy, I occasionally bought fake images. I did this out of ignorance. A couple of those images are on this page. I think of them as my degree in images. When I graduated from college they handed me a diploma. When I graduated from the image school of hard knocks, I got box full of fakes that I wasted money on. Dealing with reputable dealers can save you lots of pain and expense.

That said, lets have some fun here. Some of the images on this page are the real deal, others are modern fakes or reproductions. Look at the image.....decide whether you think it is real or fake....then click on the image for the answer. Hope you have some fun and I hope it saves you some future pain!

Here is a link to the website of a modern collodion Artist. This gentleman is an honest man. Study his images to avoid being stung by someone passing off his images as period work.
